Luke indicated that Jesus said that the Wisdom of God (διὰ τοῦτο καὶ ἡ σοφία τοῦ Θεοῦ εἶπεν) said that he would send them prophets (Ἀποστελῶ εἰς αὐτοὺς προφήτας) and apostles (καὶ ἀποστόλους). However, they would kill (ἀποκτενοῦσιν) and persecute (καὶ διώξουσιν) some of them (καὶ ἐξ αὐτῶν). There is something similar in Matthew, chapter 23:34, perhaps a Q source, about the killing of prophets. Jesus said, via Matthew, that he was going to send them prophets, sages or wise men, and scribes, the heroes of the Hebrew Scripture and the Mosaic Law. However, instead of respecting them, they were going to kill some, crucify some, and flog or scourge some in their synagogues. They were going to go from town to town persecuting some also. Jesus had mentioned the possibility of death or crucifixion for his followers earlier. Luke had Jesus slightly more restrained here. He mentioned the Wisdom of God (ἡ σοφία τοῦ Θεοῦ) as he had done earlier in chapter 7:35, either indicating Holy Scripture or the personification of wisdom. What do you know about the wisdom of God?
